THE HEREFORD FARM,
The Fine Bulls Recently Imported
From wyoming.

The Fine Bulls Recently Imported
From wyoming.
BY invitation of Mr.. AL. Thomson. a
DEMOCRAT reporter visited the above
named farm. AS We sped along the
road behind the horse once owned by the
late Adam Patterson, the thoughts came
fast as we hurried back into the past.
Good-hearted Patterson himself was an
admlrer OF fine cattle and horses, as his
endeavors to stock Church Island proves.
Then why not ride behind his old ''Chest-
nut" to the Hereford farm to see the fine
bulls recently arrived from Wyoming.
This farm, owned by Mr.. Thompson, is a
thirty acre plot with fine buildings and
sheds. Here they haye fine pastures
and feeding grounds, and in fact
every facility for the establishment of a
hrst-class stock farm. 7. ]. Morgan,
brother of George Morgan, the we'll
known importer and manager of the
Hereford Association of CHEYENNE, is in
charge and pleasant gentlemen he is.
These Morgan brothers have grown up in
the Hereford business and are thoroughly
well posted on stock matters. Walking
out into the meadows surrounding the
house we came upon herd Of the hand
some Herefords' eighteen in number all
registered. These cattle are a fine sturdy
lot and are in prime condition for the
range. In another paddock were shown
ten head of grade bulls all beauties and
none OF them over two years old, Be-
low is the names and numbers of pedi-
gree.

These animals are all bred by the
Hereford Association of Wyoming, from
imported sire and dam. They |
are all strong and healthy, hav-
ing none of that tender rub-me-down. |
with-a-shammy-skin look about them. |
These bulls are all in a direct line with |
Rudolph Jr., the thoroughbred steer,
which with grade steer, were picked up |
the fat cattle show in Chicago last year,
with the following results. The grade |
steer was shown as the best 2-year-old, |
and got first prize. He was then shown |
as best grade, of any age and took the |
sweepstakes. The thoroughbred steer
Rudolph Jr. was shown as best thorough
bred Hereford, taking first premium.
Then shown as best thoroughbred 2-vear-
old OF any breed, taking first prize. As
the best steer of any age or breed he
took first prize, and finally as the best
steer of any age, grade or breed in the
show he took the challenge gold medal.
This steer, which was raised in the
same herd as the above animals, won
against all corners, many Of them having
been imported from England, Scotland
and Canada, making herd of five or six
hundred to compete with. This is
good showing, and in itself is heavy ar
yument to our cattle men in favor Of the
Hereford cattle. Eleven years ago these
cattle were but little known in this coun-
.ry, and Geo. Morgan gave them send
off when he won the Centennial prize
against all corners with the imported bull
Sir Richard. Messrs. Thompson and Nor
gan are fortunate in the possession ofsuch
/ fine lot of cattle, and great credit is due
hem for bringing to Utah a class OF
;attle which need no time to determine
heir qualities. These bulls are being
old rapidly and those who wish to pur-
hase a fine animal which Will return
lis cost in year, can do no better than
O call on Mr.. Morgan at the farm, or
dr. Thompson at Grant Bros stables.
These cattle are fast becoming noted for
heir beef producing qualities. Short
egs with deep and broad body, can not
all to give great weight when put into
market. These are the animals to make
he farmers heart glad when he drives
hem to market.
